One Millionth Atlantic Salmon Stocked
McGuinty Government Supports Lake Ontario Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program
TORONTO, May 28 /CNW/ – The Lake Ontario Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program has reached a major milestone with the stocking of the one millionth Atlantic salmon.
Bringing back wild populations of Atlantic salmon to Lake Ontario is one of the largest freshwater conservation projects in North America. Current restoration efforts are focused on three Lake Ontario tributaries – Duffins Creek, Credit River and Cobourg Brook – chosen for their high-quality spawning and nursery habitat and strong community support. Restoring Atlantic salmon will improve Ontario’s biodiversity.
The program involves over 30 partners and sponsors, including the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, Australia’s Banrock Station Wines, Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Canadian Sportfishing Industry Association, Fishing Forever Foundation, Fleming College, conservation authorities, local community groups and landowners.
